MEDIA RELEASE
On January 20th, the Downtown Racine Corporation hosted the Fire and Ice Festival at Monument Square. The Downtown Racine Corporation collected blankets during the festival for citizens in need. Kelly Kruse, the Executive Director of the Downtown Racine Corporation, structured the blanket drive. Of the blankets collected, about a third were amassed by Gateway Technical College Students; the remainder were dropped off by caring citizens of our community, which included an assortment of new, used and even some homemade. Over 100 blankets were collected at the event.
The Racine County Sheriff’s Office was proud to take part in the drive. The blankets collected were transported to the Racine County Sheriff’s Office Jail where they were laundered by Inmate Workers in the jail laundry room. The blankets were rolled and tied with special red, blue, and purple ribbons attached to each. These red and blue ribbons were meant to symbolize Law Enforcement involvement in the community and the purple ribbons represent Domestic Violence Awareness.
The Blankets will be distributed to the less fortunate citizens of Racine County who may need a bit of assistance to keep warm during these harsh winter months. Some of the blankets will be kept at the Racine County Jail and handed out to inmates that are in need upon release. Blankets will also be dropped off at the Women’s Resource Center as well as the homeless shelters within the area.
We would like to thank the Downtown Racine Corporation and all the volunteers who assisted in the success of the blanket drive.
“We understand that not everyone has a warm place to go or something warm to cover up with. This is our way of extending a helping hand to stay warm. “
Sheriff Christopher Schmaling
“We asked the community to come together to help those less fortunate during this bitter cold winter, and the response was tremendous. The Racine County Sheriff’s Office stepped up and helped with cleaning and distrusting the blankets, and I couldn’t be more grateful for their partnership on this project. “
